FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board

independent advice and 

recommendations on matters relating to 

the Department of Defense’s scientific 

and technical enterprise. 

The Board shall provide the Secretary 

of Defense; the Deputy Secretary of 

Defense; the Under Secretary of Defense 

for Acquisition, Technology and 

Logistics; the Chairman of the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff and; as requested, other 

Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)

Secretaries of the Military Departments, 

and the Commanders of the Combatant 

Commands, independent advice and 

recommendations on scientific, 

technical, manufacturing, acquisition 

process, and other matters of special 

interest to the Department of Defense. 

The Board is not established to advise 

on individual DoD procurements, but 

instead shall be concerned with the 

pressing and complex technology 

problems facing the Department of 

Defense in such areas as research, 

engineering, and manufacturing, and 

will ensure the identification of new 

technologies and new applications of 

technology in those areas to strengthen 

national security. 

No matter shall be assigned to the 

Board for its consideration that would 

require any Board Member to participate 

personally and substantially in the 

conduct of any specific procurement or 

place him or her in the position of 

acting as a contracting or procurement 

official. 

The Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics 

shall be authorized to act upon the 

advice and recommendations of the 

Board. 

The Board shall be composed of not 

more than 45 members and not more 

than 12 Senior Fellow members, who 

are eminent authorities in the fields of 

scientific, technical, manufacturing, 

acquisition process, and other matters of 

special interest to the Department of 

Defense. 

The Board members shall be 

appointed by the Secretary of Defense, 

and their appointments will be renewed 

on an annual basis. Those members, 

who are not full-time or permanent parttime Federal officers or employees, shall 

be appointed as experts and consultants 

under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, 

and serve as special government 

employees. 

Members may be appointed for terms 

ranging from one to four years. Such 

appointments will normally be 

staggered among the Board membership 

to ensure an orderly turnover in the 

Board’s overall composition on a 

periodic basis. With the exception of 

travel and per diem for official travel, 

they shall normally serve without 

compensation, unless the Secretary of 

Defense authorizes compensation for a 

particular member(s). 

The Secretary of Defense, based upon 

the recommendation of the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 

Technology and Logistics, shall appoint 

the Board’s Chairperson. The Under 

Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 

Technology and Logistics shall appoint 

the Vice Chairperson. The Board 

Chairman and Vice Chairman shall 

serve two-year terms and, with the 

Secretary of Defense’s approval, may

The Secretary of Defense may invite 

other distinguished U.S. Government 

officers to serve as non-voting observers, 

and the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics 

may invite chairpersons from other 

DoD-supported federal advisory 

committees to serve as non-voting 

observers. 

The Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 

may appoint experts and consultants, 

with special expertise, to assist the 

Board on an ad hoc basis. These experts 

and consultants, if not full-time or part 

time government employees, shall be 

appointed under the authority of 5 

U.S.C. 3109, shall serve as special 

government employees, shall be 

appointed on an intermittent basis to 

work specific Board-related efforts, and 

shall have no voting rights. 

Non-voting observers and those nonvoting experts and consultants 

appointed by the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Acquisition, Technology, 

and Logistics shall not count toward the 

Board’s total membership. 

With DoD approval, the Board is 

authorized to establish subcommittees, 

as necessary and consistent with its 

mission. These subcommittees or 

working groups shall operate under the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act of 1972, the Government 

in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 

552b), and other appropriate Federal 

statutes and regulations. 

Such subcommittees or workgroups 

shall not work independently of the 

chartered Board, and shall report all 

their recommendations and advice to 

the Board for full deliberation and 

discussion. Subcommittees or 

workgroups have no authority to make 

decisions on behalf of the chartered 

Board; nor can they report directly to 

the Department of Defense or any 

Federal officers or employees who are 

not Board members. 

Subcommittee members, who are not 

Board members, shall be appointed in 

the same manner as the Board members. 

The Board shall meet at the call of the 

Board’s Designated Federal Officer, in 

consultation with the Chairperson. The 

estimated number of Board meetings is 

four per year. 

The Designated Federal Officer, 

pursuant to DoD policy, shall be a fulltime or permanent part-time DoD 

employee, and shall be appointed in 

accordance with established DoD 

policies and procedures. In addition, the 

Designated Federal Officer is required to 

be in attendance at all meetings; 

however, in the absence of the 

Designated Federal Officer, the 

Alternate Designated Federal Officer 

shall attend the meeting. 

Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 

102–3.140, the public or interested 

organizations may submit written

Board’s membership about the Board’s
